The statistics is a yearly overview of the Danish and it can be grouped by municipalities and regions. In the regional overview, you must be aware of that the regions are not able to levy taxes, which contrast prior counties. This implies that for each region, weighted average real property taxes are calculated for the municipalities in the region, as well as a weighted average for the country. The weighting is calculated as the total income tax relative to the net taxable income of either region or the entire country, where the net taxable income is the combined budgeted income minus the personal tax relief. The weighting is based upon each municipality’s share of the main tax base.
